{"product_id":"radial-headbone-vt-62574","title":"Headbone VT","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA \"power tool\" designed for two-amp rigs (live and studio)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Headbone was created for a very specific situation: to enjoy \u003cstrong\u003etwo amp heads\u003c\/strong\u003e (for example, a clean platform and a crunch machine) while keeping \u003cstrong\u003eonly one speaker cabinet\u003c\/strong\u003e. The concept is remarkably effective: you broaden your sonic palette while reducing clutter and setup time on stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDepending on your setup, there are \u003cstrong\u003ethree variants\u003c\/strong\u003e : Headbone VT (two tube amps), Headbone SS (two solid-state amps), and Headbone TS (one tube amp + one solid-state amp). The idea remains the same: clean, fast, and secure switching, serving sound and simplicity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is it for, what styles, and in which contexts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Headbone is aimed at guitarists and techs who want to \u003cstrong\u003eswitch amps instantly\u003c\/strong\u003e without compromise: stage musicians alternating between rhythm and lead parts, tone enthusiasts wanting a backup amp ready to take over, or studios doing A\/B testing between two heads to choose the best tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's particularly relevant in \u003cstrong\u003erock\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ehard rock\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003emetal\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eblues\u003c\/strong\u003e, wherever the amp's character defines the playing style. On a pedalboard, it integrates easily at the end of the effects chain, and in a rack or backstage, it helps keep speaker cables short and the stage tidier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSwitching, connectivity, and controls: everything is designed to avoid surprises\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the guitar side, the Headbone offers a choice of \u003cstrong\u003epassive\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eactive input\u003c\/strong\u003e and uses \u003cstrong\u003eoptocouplers\u003c\/strong\u003e to ensure silent signal switching. On the speaker side, \u003cstrong\u003esealed relays\u003c\/strong\u003e switch the amp outputs: an approach designed to handle the demands of a speaker-level signal while remaining reliable over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Headbone manages amp transitions to maintain the \u003cstrong\u003eappropriate impedances\u003c\/strong\u003e : the unselected amp is connected to a resistor to stay \"loaded.\" In case of power failure, the \u003cstrong\u003eSafeMode\u003c\/strong\u003e system automatically defaults back to \u003cstrong\u003eAmp-1\u003c\/strong\u003e. Amp switching is done via the \u003cstrong\u003ebuilt-in footswitch\u003c\/strong\u003e or remotely using the \u003cstrong\u003eSlingshot controller\u003c\/strong\u003e (handy for controlling the switch from a pedalboard while keeping the Headbone near the amps).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not a pedal that colors your tone, but a device designed to be \u003cstrong\u003etransparent\u003c\/strong\u003e. The Headbone is engineered to preserve the \"natural\" sound of your guitar and amps, with switching that remains discreet even at high volume. The \u003cstrong\u003eClass A\u003c\/strong\u003e circuit and design focused on \"operating silence\" aim for a clear goal: your audience hears an amp change, not a system change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn practice, you retain your playing dynamics, the response of your gain stages, and the character of your heads, while gaining ergonomics impossible to achieve with manual unplugging (and much safer for your gear).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical
